INTERVENTION 4S JUSTIFIED.
I oreign Ministers and Their Guards Were
Ordered to Leave Pekln by the Chi
nese Government Qiven Only :
Twenty-four Hours Notice.
By TelegraDh to the Morning Btar.
Washington, June 27. The devel
opments of the day respecting China
w ere important and interesting. The
' CniiiKse minister's report of the de
jjnuro of the foreign ministers aid
their guards from Pekin greatly
relieved the officials here, who took it
as the first tangible evidence that the
, imperial Chinese government had a
full realization of the enormity of per
mitting the ministers to come to per
son.il harm, and were thus undertak
ing as far as lay in their power to ob
serve the amenities of international
exchange.
The keenest interest is shown by
the. officials .to learn the conditions
under which the ministers left Pekin.
Th a Chinese minister's dispatch was
Ominously Si'ent
on that point and although the minis
ter maintains almost obstinately his
confidence in the non-existence of a
state of war, it is generally admitted
that it will be difficult to accept his
conclusion if it shall transpire that the
Pekin government has itself sent the
ministers away with their passports, or
what comes to the same thing, with a
guard as safe conduct.' At the State
Department it is said that if it shall
bo explained that tbe Imperial
government did this, not with
' a purpose of. rupturing diplomatic
relations, but simnlv to ensure, th
safety of the ministers, which they
were unable to guarantee as long as
they remained in Pekin, then there is"
still ground for an understanding. It
is, however.-poioted.out that in such
case, the self-confessed inability of
1
the imperial government to maintai
peace and order at the capital 1 woulj
amount to an aa mission ot us utter
failure as a government, and would
leave China in a state worse than that
of actual war. In either event, it'now
appears to the satisfaction of the offi
cials that there was absolute justifica
tion for such intervention as we have
ottered in China.
Cable Communication
Notice has come to the government
that the cable companies have again
re opened communication telegraphi
cally with Taku and Che Poo. This
arrangement has been made by means
oT the Russian telegraphic system con
necting ,with the Siberian railroad sys
tem. A European agent has managed
to re open the lines, though the means
of communication bejtween Che Foo
and Taku and Tien Tsin are tortuous
and probably precarious. '
The War Department officials insist
that no orders have gone forward to
s'itid more troops to China than the
Ninth regiment, now on its way from
Mauila, and the Sixth cavalry which
will sail from San Francisco next Sun
day for Nagasaki and perhaps Taku. It
is said that with these two organiza
tions and the marines now on Chinese
soil, General Chaffee will have the full
biigade to which his rank entitles him.
Rumors of withdrawals of troops
from Cuba ae said to be the probable
basis for the persistent statements that
more soldiers have been ordered to
China. It is admittedthat two regi
ments will soon be ordered to the Uni
ted States from Cuba, tbe particular
organizations being designated by Gen.
Wood, but they simply will take the
place in home garrisons of regiments
of regulars which will go out to Ma
nila to relieve volunteer organizations

The Chinese Minister called this
morning on the Secretary of State and
communicated to him the contents of
a dispatch which he has received from
the Tsung Li Yamen at Pekin, dated
" the 19th in st. The dispatch states that
the foreign ministers had before that
date asked permission for the legation
guards to enter the city, which per
mission had been granted, - that they
subsequently asked that these guards
be reinforced, which the Chinese gov
ernment was not disposed to permit.
The dispatch then goes on to state that
the Consul General at Tien Tsin, sup
posed to be the French Consul Gen
eral, had telegraphed to the viceroy of
Chi Li that the foreign admiral had
'demanded the surrender of the Taku
; forts and that the foreign ministers
were shortly to leave Pekin for Tien
Tsin with their guards.

The following cablegram was re'

WM. JENNINGS BRYAN.
His Opinions As to the. Party Platform to
Be Adopted by the Convention at
Kansas City.
By Telegraph to the Morning star.
Lincoln, Neb., June 26. William
Jennings Bryan returned to-day from
his Wisconsin fishing trip and will re
main here until after the Democratic
National Convention. He said he had
been placed in a wrong position by
someone who had presumed to outline
his plan of campaign.
"Any statements made by anybody
in regard to campaign plans are with
out foundation or authority," he
added. "No plan has been made by
me or any one for me and no plans
will be made until after the conven
tion has been held."
Mr. Bryan was asked whether ha
could say anything in regard to the
platform to be adopted at Kansas City
He replied:
"No one of course can say-what lan
guage will be used in setting forth the
party principles. But some idea can
be obtained as to the. general tenor of
the platform from the platforms adopt
ed in the State conventions. As a
large majority of the delegates have
been elected by conventions which re
affirmed the Chicago platform, it is
safe to assume that the. Kansas City
platform will re affirm the Chicago
platform and it will contain nothing
which can be construed aa a surrender
or modification of the platform on the
old issues.
"It is equally certain that there will
be a strong and definite plank against
the trusts... There, is also no doubt
that the plank against imperialism will
, be clear and explicit. Militarism will
be denounced and sympathy express
ed for the Boers. This much is evi
dent from what has already taken
place."
Asked if there was any truth in the
rumors that a vice president will be
chosen whose views on the money
question will he attractive to those
who opposed the ticket in 1896, Mr.
tfryan said:
I do not .care to discuss the Vice
Presidency now, further than to say
that I assume that the candidate nomi
nated for Vice President will be in
harmony with the platform. The Vice
President not only presides over the
Senate while the President is alive.
but assumes the office of President in
case of the f resident's . death, and it is
dly probable that delegates to a
tional convention would write a
latform and then select for the second
place on the ticket a man who would
repudiate the platform.
VNo one worthy to be considered
or such an office would accept a nomi
nation upon a platform repugnant to
his views on any present issue. In
every campaign men support a ticket
without approving all of the platform.
but no one can defend a platform un
less he believes in it. Many tariff re
form gold Democrats supported the
Republican ticket -four years ago,
although they dissented from the pro
tection plank. But the Republican
convention would not have nominated
tariff reformer upon a protection
platform. There is sometimes a joint
debate between candidates on opposi
tion tickets, but not between candi
dates on the same ticket."
BOERS STILL ACTIVE.
Sharp- Skirmish With Gen. Rundle'i
Forces Telegraph Wires Cat-Gen.
Dewet's Movements.
By Cable to the Morning star.
London June 28. General Sir Les
lie Rundle had a sharp artillery and
rifle skirmish near Senekal Friday
with a large force of entrenched Boers.
He declined to attack them. This is
the only fresh fighting reported.
The Boer outposts northeast of Pre
toria are busy. The telegraph wires
between Standerton and New Castle
were cut Sunday and Sir Redvers Bui-

Commandant DeWet, with 3,000
men and three guns, is moving north
east in the Orange River colony. It is
understood-that he and Commandant
General Botha entered into a compact
that neither would surrender so long
as the other was in the field.
Twelve thousand rifles, all told,
have been surrendered to the British.
President Kruger is still at Machado-
dorp. '
London. June 28. The Lorenzo
Marquez correspondent of the Times,
telegraphing yesterday, says:
"According to Transvaal act vices
the Boers are entrenching in consid
erable force in the Middleburg. hills.
The Irish, Hollander and Italian corps
are getting uncontrollable. They are
looting stores and farm nouses.
"Bar gold is a drue in the local
market, owing to a suspicion that it is
of an inferior quality. A large quan
tity of stolen gold is awaiting to be
smuggled out of the Transvaal."
ALABAMA COAL MINERS.
Wage
Contract Under Consideration
Miners Demand an Increase.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
t Birmingham, Ala., June 27. The
coal operators and miners held a joint
meeting to-day to discuss the wage
contract for the next year. The miners
submitted their demand for an in
crease of ten cents per ton, which is
equal to about 25 per cent, advance
on the- prices now paid. Tie ope
rators made a counter proposition to
renew the present scale for another
year. Without accomplishing any re
sults the joint meeting adjourned un
til 10 o'clock to morrow. There seems
to be a disposition on the part of some
of the miners to yield somewhat in
their demands.

NO NEWS YET FROM
ADMIRAL SEYMOUR.
The Relief Force of 2,300 Men
Has. Probably Reached and
Saved Him.
POSITION WAS
DESPERATE.
His Message Said That He Could -Only
Hold Out Two Days The Foreign
Ministers from Pekin Are With
Hlm-ReHef Left Monday.
By Cable to the Morning star.
London, June 283.20 A. M. The
composite brigade of 2,300 men who
raised the investment of Tien Tsin and
pushed on to help Admiral Seymour,
has probably saved him, but the news
has not yet reached Che Foo, the I
nearest wire point. The last steamer
arriving at Che Foo from Taku '
brought this message, date Tien Tsin,
Monday. June 25 :
"The Kussian general, in command
of th relief force, had decided in view
of Saturday's heavy hghting and
marching, that one day's rest for the
troops was essential and that the ad
vance should not be resumed until to
day. Meanwhile came Admiral Sey
mour's heliograph, that his position
was desperate and that he could only
hold out two days. The relief started
at dawn to-day (Monday.")
Saturday's hghting began at day
break. The allied forces with several
of the Terrible's 4.7 naval guns, six
field guns and numerous machine
guns, the nring being at Jong range.
They continued; to advance steadily,
the Chinese artillery replying. The
guns of the allies were most skill
fully handled and put the guns of the
Chinese out of action one by one, the
Chinese retreating about noon.
There was keen rivalry among the
representatives of the various nations
as to which would enter Tien Tsin
first; and the Americans and British
went in neck-and-neck. The Russians
stormed the arsenal, thereby sustain
ing the largest losses.
Several thousand Japanese have left
Taku for Tien Tsin, and altogether
13,000 Japanese have landed. The in
ternational troops now aggregate
nearly 20,000 and Japan is. preparing
to send 20,000 more.
Advices From Admiral Seymour.
Berlin, June 27. The German con
sulate at Che Foo confirms the con
tents of the message from Vice Admi
ral Seymour which reached Tien Tsin
Monday,' saying ' he was then eight
miles westward of that city, terribly
harassed, could only hold out another
two days and hai 63 men killed and
over 200 wounded ; and adds that the
admiral asked for the dispatch: of a re
lief column of 2,000 men. This column
left Tien Tsin during the morning of
June 25th under Russian command.
London, June 27. The British con
sul at Amoy telegraphs this morning
that the Europeans at Pekin are re ,
ported to be safe.
Legations Ordered to Leave Pekin.
London. June 27.-8:40 P. M. The
foreign office has issued the following
telegram received from Mr. W. R.
Carles, the British consul at Tien Tsin,
undated but probably sent June 24th
and forwarded from Che Foo June
27th':
A note has been received by the
commissioner of customs here from
Inspector General Hart (Sir Robert
Hart; at renin, aatea June iatn, stat
ing that the foreign legations had been
desired to leave irekin witnin twenty
four hours."
The Tong Shan refugees and the
foreign engineers at Che Foo estimate
the .Chinese troops now in the field, as
25.000 drilled troops at Lu Tai, 25.000
at Shanghai wan, !5,ouo driven- on
from Tien Tsin. and 150.000 at Pekin
The dispatch received by tne U oreien
Office, stating that tne foreign lega
tions were requested to leave Pekin
within a specified time, is interpreted
in some unofficial 'quarters as tanta
mount to giving the ministers their
nassnnrta and to a declaration of war:
but as China does nothing like "other
countries, the official opinion is that
there is nothing to do but to await the
course of events and to see what the
ministers themselves say when they
are rescued.
Abandoning Canton.
All the students at the foreign hos

coughed night and day. All my doc
tors said I must soon die. Then I be
gan to use Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, which completely
cured me. I would not be without it
even if it cost $5.00 a bottle. Hundreds
have used it on my recommendation,
and all say it never fails to cure Throat,
Chest and Lung troubles. "Regular

THE BOXER MOVEMENT i '
Germany and England Blamed for Not
Recognizing Its Dangerous Character.
The Dowager Empress.
By Cable to the Morning Star.'
Berlin, June 27." Herr Eugene
Wolff, in the Bealiner Tageblatt,
publishes a powerful article regard
ing China, drawn from intimate and
very recent acquaintance with the
land and its people. He gives a
history of the Boxer movement and
blames Germany and England for not
recognizing its dangerous character
during tbe last two years. He says
that the French minister in P kin, M.
Pincheon, alone energetically forced
the Empress Dowager to remove Que
Bhen from the governorship of Shan
Tung; Que Shen having been appoint
ed, although the Empress knew that
he was the founder of the. Boxers.
Herr Wolff declares the truth of the
rumors that the Empress has become
a drunkard and is often in a state of
irresponsibility. He also asserts that
she has been hoodwinked into believ
ing that the Boxers only mean to oust
the foreigners and have no designs
upon the Manchu dynasty. He con
tends that the powers must force the
imperial court to remain in Pekin and
compel the Empress to stay there un
der the control of the powers.' At the
same time he regards it as of the highest
importance that the Tsung Li Yamen
be thoroughly reformed and be de
veloped into an actual foreign office,
clothed with authority enabling it to
enforce its mandates. He also adyo
cates direct dealings between the pro
vincial governors and tbe representa
tives of the powers.
Statesville Landmark: Articles
of incorporation have been drawn and
a charter appplied for for a large mer
chant mill to be built here. ' The
Statesville Milling Company, as it
will be known, will have an author
ized capital of $50,000 and will put up
a thoroughly equipped, modern roller
mill plant. The continued rains
of the past week have damaged the
wheat crop in this section just to
what extent is not known, but it is
feared that the damage will be con
siderable. The bulk of the crop had
been cut but practically all of it was
in the field when the rains came and
most of it is there yet, as it has not
had an opportunity to dry out.
- Newton Enterprise'. Wheat
threshing in this county will begin as
soon as the wheat -gets dry enough to
haul in. There has been a great ad
vance in the threshing business in this
section during the last hi teen years.
The rivers and creeks in this
county were all out of their banks
Saturday and Sunday. On Lite's creek
corn is greatly damaged by being
washed out or covered over with mud.
On Clarke's creek, which is too low
for corn, the hay crop, which was just
about ready to be cut, is covered with
mud and is very much injured.
